I look 7-8 months pregnant. Last year I weighed 130 and now I weigh 215 with all my weight pretty much in my stomach. I also have elevated prolactin/ hormone levels for over months. I heard something about "false pregnancy" where your body thinks it is pregnant when it is not. Could this be me? I tried to do some research on it but there is not much information. I also have not had my period in over a year because I have been taking the depo birth control shot. I am going to stop taking it. Does anyone know what could be wrong with me. I exercise everyday and don't eat a lot and have been thin most of my life so I don't know what's wrong. I really want to figure this out, any HELPFUL information would be appreciated, especially from someone who is a doctor or very educated. No rude remarks please. Thanks.

i had the exact issue i was 150 pounds and in 5 months i was 215 . i was actually taking risperdal which made my body think i was pregnant and at the time i was only 15 ( i was also taking the depo shot). i knew there was no way it was because i was actually pregnant. i might not be a doctor but i know exactly what you're going through. i went to my pediatrician and my prolactin level was really high (i think 44).
my stomach was round and i got asked at school a lot if i was pregnant. my self esteem was really low. i got off of both and in a week i had lost 6 pounds i lost mostly all of my weight i had gained without any hard exercise. rite now i weigh 164 and i'm completely happy.
